Originally we've abused make check, but that turned out to be a bad idea because make distcheck automatically runs that. And the tests check the kernel and not intel-gpu-tools itself, so that didn't make much sense. Hence we added make test with a quick hack to run make check with a different set of tests (see the test: target in tests/Makefile.am). One thing I'm wondering is whether we could easily ship these tests in some form, so that users could run them from the distro package instead of grabbing the sources.
